Marjorie's Vacation by Carolyn Wells
page 145 of 221 (65%)

The interior of the house was one large room; and a smaller room,
like an ell, at the back. The large room contained the front door
and two front windows, also a window at each end. The smaller room
had no outer exit, but three windows gave ample light and air.

The front room, or living-room, as Marjorie termed it, was
pleasantly furnished. On the floor was a rug of grass-matting and
the furniture was of light wicker. The sofa, chairs, and tables
were not of a size for grown people, but were just right for
twelve-year-old little girls. At one end were a few built-in
bookshelves; at the other a wardrobe or cupboard, most convenient
to keep things in.

Grandma's handiwork was shown in some dear little sofa-pillows and
chair-cushions, in dainty, draped curtains and table covers.

The room at the back, Marjorie declared was a workroom. In the
middle was a large table, just splendid to work at when making
paper-dolls' houses or anything like that; and round the room were
shelves and cupboards to hold materials.

"It just takes my breath away!" said Marjorie, as she sank down on
the settee in the living-room; "I never saw anything like it!
Can't we have just the best fun here all summer!"

"I should say we could!" declared Molly. "It seems almost as if it
must be our birthdays too. We'll have just as much fun here as you
will, Midge."
